Donations

Did you know that CGA is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity and donations in any amount are completely tax deductible?

CGA is feeling the impact of increased costs in recent years. For the first time, in several years we are finding our income from adoption fees and donations falling short. During our last fiscal year we spent nearly $95,000 for veterinary services, our major expense category. While spays and neuters are primarily donated by our important network of generous veterinarians, other vital yet costly services are only discounted. Examples of these types of expenses are broken legs, major dental issues, diagnosis and ongoing medication for auto-immune disorders, treatment and recovery from injuries, etc.

It is our goal never to be forced to turn away a greyhound from our adoption program based on our financial inability to meet its medical needs. Our current financial trend puts us in a situation where we may soon have to make some hard choices as our veterinary costs continue to rise. Like you, this is a position we desperately want to avoid.

Over the lifetime of our organization, we have completed over 4,300 adoptions; something we're very proud of. However, there are always hounds awaiting room in CGA foster homes. Our terrific 100% volunteer organization always steps up to help whenever a plea is made, be it fostering, transportation, manning CGA booths at events or simply getting the word out about this wonderful family breed. We hope this occasion will be no different.

Help us help these wonderful hounds. Consider a generous tax-deductible donation in any amount to Colorado Greyhound Adoption. Some examples of veterinary expenditures to keep in mind as you consideryour donation:

* $60 - two month supply of Pannus medication for a foster hound* $100 - a complete blood work up for an older dog prior to surgery* $300 - $1,000 - dental for a relinquished hound* $500 - $700 - repair a laceration* $1,500 - $5,000 - repair of a broken leg, or major dental work

Donations can be made through our online store; by check or money order to our mailing address; or at Colorado Gives, that allows recurring and one time donations through a year-round, online giving website featuring Colorado non-profit organizations.

Any way you can find it in your heart to help is always greatly appreciated!
